First Post

Ok came up with a name to describe my trip to Ghana. Finally, Ghana, and Mike's Excellent Adventure has come to fruition. For those of you that don't know, or perhaps forgot, I will be leaving for Ghana June 3rd to serve in Peace Corps as a math teacher! I am really excited and as of right now I'm still in the pre-packing phase before leaving. However I intend to update this blog as often as possible (probably every other week or so) until I finish in August 2012...which sounds really really far away right now.

Just to let everyone know, I will try and report situations as unbiased as possible, but with the whole different culture and everything it should prove interesting. If you want another look from a different part of Africa, check out Jess over in Mozambique ( http://mozambicanadventures.blogspot.com/ )

My life right now isn't too exciting - the pace of living is so much slower than living in Vail was, but its nice to get some relaxation time in before heading out to the tropics. Packing has not started yet, and probably will not until at least 5 days before I leave - I need to leave some time to procrastinate.
